So a guy I work with is a millionaire. He just bought an ACR on Wed. He already has quite an assortment of expenive AR's but this was the first time I got to shoot a few. He brought the ACR and an FNH FS2000 a Glock 19, a .22 for his son, and a S&W 9mm for our other buddy. I brought my lone 92FS Inox.

 

I gotta say I really enjoyed the ACR. We shot iron sites because his EOtech isn't sighted in yet and was pretty accurate with the irons. The gun was a bit front heavy and I would have liked a longer stock. I am 6'6" with long ass arms. Hardly felt the recoil either.

 

The FS2000 was a lot more balanced and when it fired it fired nicely. Felt the recoil a bit more on it though. Lots of problems with failures to feed and the magazine actually got stuck in the rifle and we could not get it out. 2 guys pulling on it and we couldn't get it loose. I think it was the magazines he had, the FS didnt seem to like them.

Looks fun.

That 92fs looks familiar

 

 

Ha, sure does. Shoots nice, I like it a lot more than the Glock.

The sodas were for shooting. Bought at Aldis for 3.59 for a 24 pack.

 

The 9's shot the cans nice but damn those AR's shredded the cans to pieces.

I like throwing rocks at a target more than a Glock!

 

...and I know I are going to get crucified for saying that by the Glock fans

 

While technically speaking there is nothing wrong with Glocks. It just doesn't feel right in my hand. You know when you pick up something and it just feels right? With the Glocks it just doesn't work that way for me.

:naughty:

Na, it's all good. Whatever floats your boat guys. I'm no fan of Sigs but that's just me.

It'a caus I'm a southpaw. The decocker is in a horrible position for us leftys.

 

Now to stay back on topic. That FN FS2000 is hot! Small package, good caliber, great ergonomics (for a righty )

Honestly I'm not a fan of the FN FS2000 (Or the F2000). The ergonomics on it are ok but the iron sights are low and crummy. I would prefer a little bit more front heaviness like the ACR I think.

Yeah the FS200 felt great ergonomics wise. The ACR just seemed to shoot a lot better. There are soooo many parts to the FS2000 as well. The more parts the more that can go wrong.

 

That being said I wouldn't turn away a free one!!

Back on topic

 

Where were you shooting at?

 

Private property in Howell. Huge backstop built with a backhoe and lots and lots of woods between the backstop and the next property.

You guys have to admit that the FS2000 does look like a water pistol though...

 

 

Not in person. It does have a weird look though. Although it was front heavy, the ACR shot amazing.

Looks like good times. I would love to find some private property around here, But I'm sure that's like asking for a coke in the Sahara. That FS2000 is sexy. The ACR is really nice too. Do they take standard AR mags?

Yup we were swapping them back and forth

I need to find friends like that...

 

So you felt the ACR was front heavy... Was that with a loaded mag or empty? The ones I've handled seem to be pretty well balanced for a piston based weapon.

Both, When you pick it up the front immediatly falls downward. It's not really a big deal but I did notice it right away compared to the FS2000.

 

Yeah he hit the lottery for a couple million years ago and continues to work 40 hour weeks and does lots of investing as well as buys and rents out apts

Did you have another AR there to compare it to? Reason I ask is almost anything would feel front heavy compared to the FS2000's bulpup design, with the mag and internals mostly behind your grip.

We didn't have any other AR's there yesterday but I have shot quite a few and they didn't seem as front heavy. However it could be perception since I has the FS at hand.

 

It's not really a big deal, and it wouldnt prevent me from getting one. Just saying it is something I noticed.

 

Overall it's a very nice rifle.
